Actually, I have a problem with Duceppe being involved in ANY debate. As a pro-seperatist party and of no meaning outside Quebec, they really should be ignored.
As for platforms, the Greens have as good a platform as anyone, and fear that they may not be fiscally as responsible as other parties is laughable when you look at the records. And, I absolutely agree that they have the strength of conviction to say, up front, what their platform supports and what it doesn't, even though the other parties still seem to utterly ignore them.
All we can hope is that they get a couple of members in the house this time around and raise the profile.
Peace,
